Jstro,

Pretty obviously it doesn't meet the criteria for what actually makes a short story, but then again I've never been one for adhering rigidly to technical mechanics of writing. I think that's why these are called quite specifically "Very Short Stories," as if they're an entirely different genre than the standard short story. Pretty much, it challenges you to create as much possible story in one sentence. And it's just a fun exercise in writing. =)

And Dialyn, awesome news that you found your lost dog! =)

Now for my Halloween very short story, a twist on Hemingway's:

Elegant coffin for sale, used once.
